After speaking, he raised his glass and said, "I would like to toast everyone, and I will do it first as a token of respect!"
After saying that, he raised his head and drank all the wine in the glass.
When everyone heard that he wanted to donate one hundred thousand taels, everyone looked sad.
King Li took the lead in donating so much. It would be unjustifiable if they donated less.
At this time, a minister said: "Your Majesty, you know that I am an upright official. I am an upright official. I am honest and clean. How can I get the money to donate?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, I have an eighty-year-old mother at home, a wife and children to support, and I have no money."
"Your Majesty, although I am a businessman, there have been natural disasters in recent years. People have no money and business is not easy to do. I lost tens of thousands of taels of silver last month. Seeing that my family is about to lose money, I really can't get out the money.
Come donate.”
"Your Majesty, my family has run out of money. My son doesn't even have the money to marry a wife. There is really no money to donate."
Officials and nobles began to cry for poverty one by one, and they were unwilling to donate money.
The world belongs to the emperor and the money belongs to them, so why should they donate?
Besides, with their salaries, if they donate a large sum of money at every turn, doesn't this tell the emperor that they are corrupt?
So this money cannot be donated.
After hearing everyone's words, Chu Xuanchen said coldly: "Are you crying for poverty with me? You are all one of the richest people in Chu State. How much money have you saved in the bank? How many property shops do you think you have in your family?
The king doesn’t know? Don’t worry, even if I know how much property you have, I won’t force you. Donating money must be voluntary, but as long as anyone can donate more than 10,000 taels, I will report to the emperor and award him an honorary award! Donate!
The more you get, the greater the reward!”
When everyone heard that there was a reward, they were still not moved.
After all, some rewards are just in name, have no real power, and are useless.
It's still money.
Most importantly, they have other reasons.
At this time, someone finally couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, it's not that we don't want to donate, it's just that you came late. Before you, the Queen and Mrs. Wei had already called everyone to donate, so I donated one to the Queen.
Ten thousand taels of silver!"
"Yes, I also donated 5,000 taels from the Queen, and there is also a thousand dans of rice!"
"I only donated three thousand taels. We just donated so much, where can we still have money to donate to you?"
Chu Xuanchen was stunned, "The Queen is also raising money?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, in the name of disaster relief, the empress asked Mrs. Wei to help her raise money in the palace and among the people. She is also preparing to raise money for disaster relief. Our money has been donated to the empress, so we really can't donate it to you anymore.
.”
"How much has she raised now?" Chu Xuanchen asked.
"She started raising money early yesterday morning. I heard that the empress is very proud. She responded to every call and has already raised 500,000 taels! Moreover, she will hold a charity auction to continue raising funds!"
"If we let her raise money for another two days, she will probably be able to raise several million taels!"
"Five hundred thousand taels?" Chu Xuanchen raised his eyebrows, and a fox-like chuckle suddenly appeared at the corner of his mouth.
He waved to everyone, "Since everyone has donated at the Queen's place, there is no need to donate at the King's place for the time being. Anyway, we are raising money for the disaster area. It doesn't matter where you donate."
Moli next to him whispered, "Your Majesty, this is different. The money raised by the empress is her own to win the hearts of the people. Moreover, according to her temper, she will not hand over the funds to you for disaster relief. She will definitely send it herself."
People go to provide disaster relief, and we are separated from you, and you still have to raise money. If the raising is not completed, the emperor will still find trouble for you."
